Tigers!

In Chiang Mai there is this park called “Tiger Kingdom” where you can actually go fool around with big ass (or baby) tigers. Scary at first, but the beasts are controlled by some local tiger wizards and they’re actually pretty sleepy. The employees there say it is just because they were born in captivity, but we actually wondered if they also had a Prozac based diet. In any case the babies were super cute, the big ones pretty cool (the one pictured is actually cross-eyed which gave him an interesting clumsy look) and we still had to sign a disclaimer stating we would not sue anybody should we have a limb ripped off by one of the beasts…

A few words about Chiang Mai. Thailand’s 2nd largest city, capital of the northern part of the country, it is a very pleasant city to spend a few days. The old city is surrounded by ancient walls, and in those 2 square kilometers (more or less) you have tens of temples to visit. To be completely honest after half a dozen I started to get a bit bored, and to entertain myself I started to take close up pictures of small statues and other artifacts, finding it easier than to photograph real moving people =). Results varied, but I could sometimes get interesting, slightly surreal effects.
